Catholic School's Week has come and gone and it is time to return to a more regular classroom routine starting Monday. It was a fun, but VERY exhausting week. Today the students and faculty participated in Comfy Day, enjoyed a pancake breakfast and spent the afternoon watching a movie in true movie theater style. With all of the exciting activities packed into one day, I must say that none of them were my favorite part. My teacher was out of the classroom most of the day helping and preparing for all of the different activities. Guess who was left in charge....ME! It is such a different feeling when you are the one and only adult in the classroom. I led morning meeting and we took care of the regular Friday tests (spelling and handwriting). We had some downtime so I decided to read to the class. I love reading to children. No matter what book you pick they are so intrigued and focused on the words coming out of your mouth. You can add voices to the characters and exaggerate your expressions and not feel "awkward" doing so.
I read my new favorite children's book: The Day the Crayons Quit. I had seen a lot of advertisements for the book and I knew there was a lot of hype about, but I never actually read it until last week. I must say that I fell in love instantly. Getting my own copy is a must, and I already am looking into purchasing the sequel.
Next we read Fancy Nancy. This is another book that I've seen on shelves and in Scholastic book orders but I never actually read. I must say, I really liked this one too.
Lastly, we read Pirates Love Underpants. My class recently fell in love with this whole series of books. They've been rereading the Dinosaur and Alien versions of the books and I was excited when I found this book in the library because I knew it would be a hit.
I highly recommend these three books if you haven't read them already!
